Tequila Ocho Plata Review
One for true agave aficionados, this tequila delivers an enticing blend of vegetal and grassy aromas, with an undercurrent of vibrant flowers. There’s great depth and concentration to the palate, but it still remains lively and energetic well onto its pepper-spiced finish. This is sipping tequila, for sure, but don’t shy away from mixing it in cocktails.

- Suitable for sipping even though it’s a blanco tequila
